Feeling Good Tip of the Day ~ Better Relationships From Better Questions
At the end of a long day, we tend to mentally check out of our lives and, consequently, our relationship. We rely on the standard question, “How was your day?” But because we hear that question so often, many of us will reflexively just respond with the bare minimum: “Fine. How was yours?” This does nothing to improve your connection and can actually damage it because you’re losing the opportunity to regularly connect in a small way.
If your initial “How was your day?” doesn’t spark much conversation, try asking more creative follow-up questions: “What made you smile today?” or “What was the most challenging part of your day?” You’ll be amazed at the answers you’ll get, with the added benefit of gaining greater insight into your significant other.
Note: Other questions to ask is: What was something great that happened to you today. What made it feel great?

Today’s Power Thought ~ Three Questions
Three questions: What do you want? How bad do you want it? If you get it, will it be worth the price? We can make a long list to answer the first question. The second question is a filter. The third question asks us to examine the value of what we want.
